Chapter 11: The Lucky Star

Meng Xingchen nodded, it seems to be right, according to his wife's owner, so much money, no matter how he spends it, he can't spend it.

After figuring it out, he very 'simply' took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels from the money bag, and said to the boss, "Boss, I want all of these, you can help me pack them, by the way, there are two more sets of bamboo blue brocade." He thought that if he bought four sets himself, his wife would have to buy the same ones as himself.

When the boss heard this, his eyes narrowed with laughter, his mouth responded enthusiastically, flattered him, and kept flattering, and hurriedly ordered people to do what he said. Thinking to myself; It's big business, and sometimes she doesn't necessarily sell so much in a month.

Meng Xingchen tasted the taste of being a rich man for the first time in his life, and laughed happily. The smile on his face made him more feminine, which made Leng Yue a little stupid. With such a beautiful smile, she will protect it for the rest of her life.

After they came out of the garment store, they went to buy some daily necessities, and in the end, because there were too many things to buy, Leng Yue simply hired a carriage and loaded everything on the carriage. By the time everything was bought, the sun was already setting.

The two of them went shopping for an afternoon, and they were a little tired, Leng Yue wanted to take Meng Xingchen to Fumanlou for dinner, but Meng Xingchen felt that it was too expensive, and it would cost a lot of silver to eat a meal, so he told Leng Yue that he wanted to go to a small restaurant to eat dumplings, and Leng Yue had no opinion on this, as long as he liked it. After they had eaten, they rode home in a carriage.

When she got home, Leng Yue let Meng Xingchen sit in the yard, because he had an injury on his hand, so she didn't allow him to help move things, Meng Xingchen saw that she was resolute, but she didn't fight with her, she sat on the stone bench obediently, watching her keep walking in and out, with a happy smile on her face, such a good day!

After Leng Yue cleaned up the house, it was already completely dark, Meng Xingchen lit the lights in the house, and the two of them looked at their new home, and they both had a feeling of unreality. At the same time, they were also a little embarrassed.

Last night, both of them were very nervous or uneasy because of some sudden changes, so they didn't have time to think about the embarrassment of sleeping in the same bed.

But now, after a day of getting along, they have some strange feelings for each other in their hearts, which makes them a little embarrassed.

Leng Yue didn't pay much attention at first, but when she saw Meng Xingchen's face, which was as red as a red apple, her heartbeat began to beat a little faster, and the already quiet room began to become a little ambiguous due to the change in the mood of the two.

Meng Xingchen blushed and didn't dare to look at Leng Yue, Leng Yue also felt that her ears were a little feverish, but she knew that if she didn't speak all the time, Meng Xingchen would definitely not speak, and the atmosphere would become more and more embarrassing.

So she said, "Derpy, how old are you this year?" When is your birthday? ”

Meng Xingchen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to ask him this question suddenly, but he still replied to her, "I will be sixteen years old in more than two months, and my birthday is the seventh day of the seventh month." ”

The seventh day of July? Isn't that the modern Valentine's Day? But his age is really young, this is still a minor at all. "Are all the men here like you, married so early?" This made Leng Yue a little curious.

Meng Xingchen nodded, "Hmm! Our men here can marry when they reach the age of fourteen, and if the wife agrees, they can have children at the age of fifteen, and if they do not marry by the age of twenty, it will be difficult to marry. If you look good, you can still be a concubine, but if you don't look good, you can only be an orphan and grow old. ”

Leng Yue was a little surprised, what kind of world is this! Why is the folk style so strange? In modern times, men in their twenties are in the golden age of youth, but here, they have become leftover men who people dislike at the age of twenty.

Leng Yue pulled Meng Xingchen to sit down on the bed, hugged him and said, "Tell me about your customs here." ”

Meng Xingchen leaned on her and began to explain to her seriously, the more Leng Yue listened, the more sad she felt for these men, especially the concubines of those big families, which might not even be as good as the maids in the ancient big families in those days.

Because here, the women of large families usually have dozens or even hundreds of concubines, and the richer and more powerful the women, the more concubines they have.

Because the number of concubines reflects a person's identity and status, women usually keep taking concubines for themselves when their conditions allow.

As a result, more and more men are sad, because most of them are only when they are possessed by their wives, and after seeing their wives, they will never see their wives again, and without the favor of their wives, they can only die in the backyard for the rest of their lives, and in the case of being forgotten by their wives, their lives can be imagined.

Maybe he was too tired, Meng Xingchen fell asleep while talking. Leng Yuegang gently put him on the bed, and he also slept with him in his arms. Looking at his sleeping face, remembering the sadness in his eyes and the helplessness in his tone when he was talking about those men, she heard it a little heartbroken, and she swore that she would live up to him in this life and never let him suffer such injustice.

As soon as the sky dawned, Meng Xingchen woke up! This is the most restful sleep he has slept after his father's death, looking at this woman holding him, he smiled happily, such a good day.

Leng Yue was asleep, feeling that there was a line of sight staring at herself, she opened her eyes, and saw Meng Xingchen looking at herself in a daze, and kissed him on the forehead with a smile, "Good morning, little fool!" ”

Meng Xingchen came back to his senses, and saw that she was smiling all over her face, looking at herself with teasing eyes, and her face turned red, he was actually found by his wife to be peeking at her, which was really embarrassing.

Leng Yue blushed when she saw him, and shook her head a little funny, this person is really easy to blush, like a young man who has just fallen in love. However, Leng Yue felt that it was really a pleasant thing to be able to see his shy expression from time to time.

After Leng Yue got out of bed and got dressed, she said to Meng Xingchen, "I'll go make breakfast, if you don't want to get up yet, just sleep again, I'll call you when I'm ready." With that, he walked out.

Meng Xingchen also got up after she went out, although he was a little reluctant to this warm quilt, but he preferred to stand aside and watch her figure busy for himself, which would make him feel very happy.

After washing up, Leng Yue walked into the kitchen with high spirits, preparing to cook a delicious meal for Meng Xingchen. But it turned out that she had been in front of the stove for half a day, and she couldn't light the fire...
